ASP.NET Core Resilience, EF Core, Native AOT
Covers pagination, cancellation, rate limiting, idempotency, Aspire observability, EF Core tuning, secure uploads, C# 14, and token security.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Efficient Pagination in ASP.NET Core: Offset vs Keyset Pagination Explained
C# Corner
Good side-by-side treatment of pagination tradeoffs. Keyset is usually the right answer once datasets and concurrency start to matter.
- 2 Construct a Full Binary Tree from Preorder and Mirror Preorder Traversal
C# Corner
A niche algorithms refresher, but useful if you like reconstruction problems and tree traversal reasoning.
- 3 Cancellation Tokens in ASP.NET Core: How to Cancel Long-Running Requests Correctly
C# Corner
Worth reading because cancellation is often wired in halfway. Correct propagation saves real resources under load.
Editor's note
I kept this one intentionally mixed, but the ASP.NET Core operational pieces stood out: cancellation tokens, request timeouts, rate limiting, and idempotent APIs make a practical cluster. I also liked the MSBuild binlog analyzer post because build diagnostics are still too painful for most teams, and the EF Core 10 tuning article is the kind of checklist people can apply right away. Native AOT and Aspire observability round things out with two areas that are getting more relevant as apps get smaller, faster, and more distributed.
